| Fear and
chaos are slowly returning to our country. Perputuated by those who once
again refused to accept defeat and embraced developement in our nation
,the SLPP in its bid to controle every aspect of our lives are now
seeking to fill our thoughts with fear and discuragement.
In September 2007,as it has always been in a
Democrartic system of government, we the people of Sierra Leone clearly
spoke in the ballot box.Between the two major political parties,we
chosed the one we prefered to rebuild our nation and hold the peace in
Sierra Leone.11 years ago,the country faced the worst form of expltation
and poverty.Since independente in 1961,through those years, we learned
from experience what it takes to provide solid foundation for making
real improvements towards change in our country.
As easily as we can choose to revolt at the
time,we preferred to be peaceful ,patient and showed understanding.We
look beyond those who argued for defeat and continued the path to
victory. Whatever the situation was in the nation,we the citizens chose
a positive way forward.Insted of underminding the Government whicgh
could have been a receipt for unrest in the country,we challanged our
energy into more valable and productive pursuits.We collectively
embrased tolerance and acceptance with a defiend goal in the name of
peace.
However, we knew we needed a change and we
refused to make ourselves victim; so we preferred to be firmly in
control of our lives with faith and hope.In the general Elections,we the
people took action to make the change happen by overwheminlgy voting to
give the party in governance a chance to rebuild our poorest nation,One
of the most corrupt countries on earth , acording to the United Nations
development index.
Fellow Sierra Leoneans,we must not allow the games and devillish
activities of the SLPP to take us back and treat us as second class
citizens.We the people have the right to pick our leaders and for now we
collectively chose the APC to govern us in peace.We will surly not allow
outside events to control our attitudes and our dream for Sierra
Leone.We will continue to give our attention and energy to this
administration for a positive direction and for development of our
country.
Certianly, there are difficulties and obstacles perpetuated by the SLPP
to deviate the party in governance from fulfilling their obligations to
the nation.We say this time no to the disturbance ,to peace in the
country through unwarranted propaganda and violence. We are committed to
peace and development ; we did what was right in the ballot box for our
country ; it was not only a reaction to the way we had been treated the
years,rather,it was an expression of our commitment to the way we chose
for things to be at this point.
Dear SLPP,we the people of Sierra Leone are now
saying loud and clear 'no to the bullet but yes to the ballot box in
2012' .
